Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced fresh mushrooms recommended for best flavor
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup marsala wine can substitute with dry white wine for variation
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.
  3. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Cooking
  1. In the same skillet, add garlic and mushrooms. Sauté until mushrooms are softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Pour in the marsala wine and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes, until the sauce reduces slightly.
  3. Return the chicken to the skillet and coat it in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  4. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Pairs well with pasta or mashed potatoes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
